Deck overview

This deck is a competitive Mardu turbo reanimator and combo engine. While Kaalia of the Vast sits in the command zone as a threat and alternate cheat enabler, the primary strategy operates through fast graveyard reanimation and high-density black tutors. The deck aims to place Hoarding Broodlord, Razaketh, the Foulblooded, or Worldgorger Dragon into the graveyard on Turn 1 or 2 using Entomb, Vampiric Tutor, or loot effects. On Turn 3, it casts low-cost reanimation spells like Reanimate or Animate Dead. Resolving Hoarding Broodlord initiates a convoke chain with Saw in Half, Burnt Offering, and Underworld Breach, culminating in an infinite Dragon Tempest burn loop or an Orcish Bowmasters wheel win on the same turn. Proactive protection spells like Grand Abolisher, Silence, and Ranger-Captain of Eos safeguard the combo window, while Ad Nauseam and Necropotence provide robust alternative routes.
